Oil & Gas UK's chief executive, Malcolm Webb, said: "Oil & Gas UK is aware that the cause of the leak from the Gannet Alpha flowline is still under investigation and until that is concluded, it is not productive to speculate about what caused the incident and its implications. 
 
"However, all spills of any nature are regrettable and therefore, as soon as the cause of the leak at the Gannet field is known, Oil & Gas UK will look to work with the operator to ensure lessons that can be learned are communicated throughout the industry in order to help prevent such an incident from occurring again."
